Rowling is a stone cold bitch.
Well she is a certified gozillionaire now, so who cares how the series ends after how well she has done on the first 6? ;-) |

Well, when they meet Frodo Baggins in the third chapter, it's all downhill from there.

I bet the last page is about Spiderman 3.
It's all pure "put a bullet in the head of this shit" drama.

If anyone still cares here are some more!
Harry doesn’t die
Snape dies on page 658, his last words are “Look…at…me…”
Dobby dies on page 476, his last words are “Harry…Potter…”
Moody dies sometime before page 78, you hear of his death from Bill and Fleur
Collin Creevy dies sometime before page 694, Harry finds Neville is carrying his dead body
The sorting hat dies on page 732, Voldemort lights it on fire
Fred dies
Tonks dies
Lupin dies
Neville kills Nagini
Snape was Dumbledore’s spy all along. Dumbledore plotted his own death so that the power of the Elder Wand would die with him rather than be transferred to his victor. He failed though and the power is transferred to Draco, then to Harry (of course).
Voldemort dies on page 744
Harry’s scar goes away
Harry Marries Ginny and has three kids named Lily, Albus Sirius, and James
Ron Marries Hermione and has two kids, Hugo and Rose
Neville becomes professor of Herbology
Malfoy gets married and has a son named Scorpius
I've never read any of the books, so I have no idea what any of it means. I just wanted to ruin it for someone!

Even with the possibility that the above spoilers are true, I am still going to spend the weekend reading the book.
If I really just cared about the major items in a novel rather than the experience of devouring hundreds of pages, I suppose I would read the cliff notes version rather than the whole enchilada.
And yes I am hungry; I have not had breakfast yet this morning.

About half the spoilers posted above contradict with the spoiler summary posted on a website that photos of each page of the book. Yes, someone at a warehouse somplace took a readable photo of every page. |

I bet thats some quality book reviewing, what with all the time taken to digest and evaluate the content. It will doubtless do the NYT's lauded arts section proud.

JK Rowling can suck a nut with her street date bullshit. It's a goddamn kids book, fuck off you cunt. Also, Harry Potter can floss his teeth with my pubic hairs. I'll be glad if this bitch never writes another book again, that's how sick of Harry Potter I am. It's become a worse trend than fucking Lestat.

Oh come on. You hate anything popular. :-D Seriously, this became less about Rowlings long long ago. Nothing survives intact the success Harry Potter gets. And don't give me us "children's book" crap either. It hasn't been a children's book since the second one. Her writing style has changed concurrent with the age of her initial audience. Today's 8 year old is almost more likely to not read Deathly Hallows as the one's who picked up Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone nine years ago. And anyone here please raise their hand if you think this truly is the last we'll hear of this. Rowling is a terrible writer and sell-out. You expected her to kill off Harry Potter? |

That's why I get a chuckle out of it, Haemmy. About half the librarians are all rabid about it. (my fiancee is definitely not one of them) I could give a shit, I could go start reading it right now and I'm not even inclined to peek at the ending to mess with them. Well, maybe I'm tempted to mess with them...
I can't wait until the movie version where Harry conjures up some liver pills for Hermione in the nursing home.

Too bad her writing level should only be entertaining those between 8 and 13. Seriously, I don't know how adults put up with her brand of filthy dialogue. It just sucks.

I like the theory that she is releasing multiple version of the book. Harry lives! Harry dies! Every possible ending is published, turning book seven into the biggest 'collectible card game' imaginable. She rakes in more cash than is actually available in the world, buys Scotland, renames it Pottertopia, and we get to see Ironwood in a hogwarts uniform and kilt - the new required dress in Pottertopia LLC. All of this spawns a new world religion, and Edinburgh gets nuked in the great 'Was Snape good or evil schism' of 2026. |

Why should the bitch care either way?
It is not like a bad review is going to lower initial sales numbers at all.
And book reviewers never spoil books enough to piss people off who want to read the book.
She also should be a little nicer to the reviewers as they are the same people who have been trumping her up for the last decade and adding to initial sales for previous releases with glowing pre-release reviews.
But whatever, the whole "we must protect our property, yo" attitude of Rowling, Scholastic, and WB is 10x worse than the much maligned Apple secrecy around the iPhone.

I must be misunderstanding this. She's upset that the NYT published an absoulutely glowing, spoiler-free review a few days before the book comes out? What exactly is the problem?
Oh wait, the review reveals what deathly hallows are. Ah shit, the whole damn saga's ruined now!
